Forest Man - Jadav Payeng

This is amazing, I came across this story in an Gizmodo article and my first thought was, 'that's impressive'.

Jadav Payeng has to date single handedly planted a forest larger than Central Park NYC. His forest has transformed what was once a barren wasteland, into a lush oasis in which tigers, elephants and wildlife now thrive. This is his incredible story and just goes to show his passion and determinism in protecting our planet.
